Huyu ndo waziri wetu wa mambo ya nchi za nje hivi sasa, Mh. Mahmoud Thabit Kombo akiwa kikazi huko Afrika Kusini alipofanya mahojiano na runinga ya SABC.
Toa tathmini yako. Kafanya vizuri au kaharibu?

So he passes the test of comfortably answering softball questions about a specific expected topic with boilerplate answers shamelessly touting African solutions for African problems while African budgets are heavily subsidized by foreign aid, something I would expect from a Tanzanian ambassador.
But the interview does not give him an opportunity to answer tough questions on his feet like Dr. Augustine Mahiga diffusing the press about Tanzania's involvement in the arms trade, or Dr. Salim Ahmed Salim making a case for Communist China getting a seat at the UN Security Council, or Iran getting nuclear facilities for energy.
Or to make a bold and articulate statement like Nyerere lambasting Reagan at the Cancun One summit in 1981, Mkapa lambasting Blair at the 2002 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Queensland Australia.
We will see his ability soon in the right settings, these talkshops are an exercise in mutual back patting.
